If you are not good at sticking stuff down, then I would not touch it and let AK do it they are the pros

Poor comments of the shadowline tapes
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=79223&hl=
The failure case due to lot of guys too lazy and not remove the trims out before. Just tape on top of trim then caused a lot of wrap; bubbles on surface. At last, they call fail and claim that this tape is suck at all.
The succeed case as remove all the trim out first, then cut the tape in properly size, tape in one by one with care and patience. I still found have any case for peel off afterward.
I checked this tape came from Avery Dennison instead of from seller (shadowline.com) only. Avery is famous outdoor advertisement material supplier in the world. This tape durability up to 10 years, Therefore, I have confidence to use. I think I will sold out my one before 10 years.
I am not going to sell this tape to our buddies, I also found there are another ways to have same result.
1> Call BMWHK the matte / glossy trims - Charge around HK$ 4,000 exclude installation charge
2> One of US BMW dealer called NewPort just charge US$ 220, but he refused ship out US even I asked for group buy before. He also refused my request.
3> Wait for Ebay items, last ended auction around HK$ 2,800 exclude shipping charge.
